My sister called me the other day and said "Have you heard of extreme couponing?" There is a whole world of serious coupon clippers out there! I have tried it a few times and thought it was time consuming. But as I started doing some research I realized how easy and fun it can be! I spent a few hours exploring all the coupon websites and found some that I really like.
shopathome.com
coupons.com
These are two of my favorites so far. A few things I have learned, the hard part for me anyway with using coupons is to not buy things I don't need or wouldn't normally buy just because I have a coupon for it. Another thing I found that was helpful is if you go to the website of an item you use all the time, like diapers, coffee, organic foods, they have coupons on their website. Sometimes you can print 3 or more off and stock up on the item you know you will use. Or get on the email list and they will send you coupons and specials to your email account!
On my last shopping trip I also tried to find things on sale AND use a coupon then you get double the discount. If you can find a store that doubles coupons then you are golden! Love it, I am a fan of coupons!
